Oak Hill: A World-Class Destination for Fishing and Water Enthusiasts

The community of Oak Hill [https://www.visitnsbfl.com/oak-hill?utm_source=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution], which sits on the shores of the Mosquito Lagoon, just south of New Smyrna Beach, is a fisherman's paradise. Known as the redfish capital of the world, the waters in this community also support a healthy population of trout and other game fish and attract anglers from across the country and the world. Opportunities to enjoy the day on the water here couldn't be easier to find, whether for fishing, enjoying nature, or just relaxing.

Setting Up Camp in Oak Hill

Keep in the angling spirit by staying at one of the many fish camps in Oak Hill. Most feature full-service RV sites and some also offer cabins for those without a "house on wheels." The Oak Hill Fish Camp is located directly on the Intercoastal Waterway, and campers can fish from their docks, put in by canoe or kayak, or even dip-net for shrimp right from the shore. The Mosquito Lagoon RV Park is home to both serviced campsites and cabins to suit any fisherman's-and their family's-needs. Visitors can bring their own motorboats, canoes, or kayaks, and the campground has several kayaks available for free for guests to use.

Geared up for Adventure

As a prime destination for water activities, Oak Hill is home to outfitters whose job is to keep anglers and recreationists stocked and ready to explore the area's blueways [https://www.visitnsbfl.com/blueways?utm_source=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution].

Getting a fishing license should be the first step for anglers, and they're available online from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at www.myfwc.com. Bait and tackle are also sold at several locations in Oak Hill, such as Anchor Hardware, 726 N. US Highway 1, and Indian Mound Fish Camp at 295 Indian Creek Road. More fishing-related information and rules can be found in the New Smyrna Beach Area Fishing online guide.

For those who want a guided fishing experience, the area offers an array of fishing charters [https://www.visitnsbfl.com/fishing?utm_source=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution] that cater to all levels of anglers. Local captains, equipped with extensive knowledge of the Indian River Lagoon and surrounding waters, provide guests with the opportunity to reel in species like redfish, trout, and even tarpon. These fishing charters often supply all the necessary equipment, making them an excellent choice for beginners and seasoned fishers alike. Beyond fishing, the charters allow visitors to soak in the natural beauty of the region while enjoying a day on the water. Be sure to book in advance, as spots fill up quickly during peak seasons.

Fresh Catch, Local Flavor

Goodrich Seafood Restaurant and Oyster House is more than just a beloved family-owned seafood spot-it's a true Oak Hill experience. After a successful day on the water, fresh catches can be brought in, cleaned, and filleted, for the talented kitchen team to prepare just the way they're preferred. No catch? No problem. Their menu is packed with mouthwatering options, from freshly shucked oysters to heaping baskets of fried flounder and scallops. With daily specials and breakfast on weekends, Goodrich Seafood offers something for everyone-and every taste.

Waterways Beyond Fishing

Getting out on the water is the goal for many visitors, and not just for fishing. RiverWitch Kayak Rentals and Tours has boats available for all levels of paddlers. Stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) and single and double kayaks, as well as SUPs and kayaks set up for fishing, are available for rent by the hour, a half-day, or a full day. They'll even deliver to a put-in location, which makes having fun on the water even easier. The company also leads kayak tours of the Indian River Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway, during which participants learn from the knowledgeable guides about the diverse ecosystem here, experience the magic of bioluminescence on sunset and nighttime tours, and take in the underwater splendor in clear-bottomed boats.

In addition, a visit to Seminole Rest in the Canaveral National Seashore [https://www.visitnsbfl.com/national-canaveral-seashore?utm_source=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution] is a must-do. The site consists of several prehistorical shell mounds, dating back to 2,000 BCE. Few mounds of this size-the largest is 13 feet high and ranges over 5 acres-remain in the area. This site was the home of the Timucua Indians, as well as pioneer settlers in later years.

Oak Hill is the perfect spot to spend time on the area's abundant and peaceful waterways, enjoy freshly caught seafood, and learn more about a city dedicated to preserving its heritage while building a stronger environment for tomorrow.
